It's been one year since Rick died. As with all my siblings I think of him daily. I think of what he has missed this year. I think of what he will miss in the year to come -- and it is going to be a HUGE year!!!! He has 3 of the MOST AMAZING KIDS!!!

That's what we have been -- but, that is par for the course this time of year. On Saturday we went with Steven, Sharlene and Matthew to hack down the annual tree-sicle:)

Here are some shots that I grabbed ----

Whitlee Jane is NOT happy - why?? She was told NOT to jump in all the mud puddles.

Matthew and Brendan playing tree or seek Dude -- I can STILL SEE YOU!!

I can see you also!!!!

Still mad about the mud puddles!!!!

Look.........they are so sweet --- right before this Brendan tried to push Whitlee INTO a mud puddle!!!! Gotta love them:)

Cousins..............ahhhhhh!!!!!

I was able to do a mini photo shoot with Matthew - I love to photograph him just as much as taking shots of my own kids. When I was proofing these shots they just made my heart stop!! I love this kid:)

We have picked a tree.......

Jeff and Brendan thought this was funny!!!

The "Brendan is FREEZING" pose

Whitlee Jane "drinking" raindrops off the trees

Whitlee Jane singing the "I'm looking for a worm" song

Son, what are you doing with that saw????

Jeff - he decided was a Tree monster --- I still don't know what a tree monster is!!!
